It is fun to hike at night. If it is late at night, gaze up. You might see a big, bright moon. It is a fine sight! 2

The moon can look like a bright, white pie. It is not as bright as the sun, but its beams can light up the black night. 3

You might see stars at night. Their light is not as bright as the moon. They seem like white pin holes high up. 4

There are lots and lots of bright stars. They seem like a huge stream of bright, white lights in the black night. 5

On some nights, you can not see the moon and stars. You will need a light at night. It seems like you went in a black cave. 7

The next time it is late at night, gaze up high and see bright lights. 8
